How to Add Youtube Video in Android App
In our Android App we can easily add a youtube video link in our Android App.
For this we need to following things;
Step 1 : Create an API key
- You must create an API key on https://console.developers.google.com/
- Go to the link
- Click on Credentials in Left Pane
- Click on "Create Credentials"
You need to enter your app package name and SHA Key, Click Save
Your API key will be created
See the Screenshot below.
Step 2 : Add YouTubePlayerView in layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical
" android:background="#006080">
<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="visible"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:id="@+id/youtube_player" />
</LinearLayout>
Loading Video in Activity
public class PlayYouTubeVideoActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity
{
YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView;
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener onInitializedListener;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.watchvideo);
youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_player);
onInitializedListener = new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener(){
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
youTubePlayer.loadVideo("XXXXXXX");//Enter your Youtube Video ID here
youTubePlayer.play();
}
@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
Log.i("KAMLESH","Youtube not initialized
"+youTubeInitializationResult.getErrorDialog(PlayYouTubeVideoActivity.this,5));
}
};
youTubePlayerView.initialize("ENTER YOUR API KEY HERE",onInitializedListener);
}
}
